Whole Cranberry Sauce
We make a double batch (2 12-ounce packages), if you prefer, divide the ingredients in half for a smaller batch. Or if you have more leftover than you need, you can recook the sauce and then can in jars to keep for a condiment anytime.
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 cups water
- 2 12-ounce packages cranberries
Rinse cranberries and discard any steams or damaged cranberries.
Bring water and sugar to a boil in a medium saucepan.
Add cranberries and return to a boil.
Reduce heat and boil gently for about 30 minutes (or until the mixture begins to thicken), stirring occasionally. The sauce will thicken further once completely chilled.
Let cool slightly and then pour sauce into a bowl, cover and cool to room temperature. Refrigerate until serving time.
